Poison Apples and Cursed Items (How Many Kills?)

Post by animesh1997 »

How many people have you killed with PA's or CI's and why?, was it a quest, vengeance or just plain fun?

I don't like poisoned apples :mrgreen:. They don't always work for me and I don't want to wait for so long. And the effect isn't that fun IMO.

So I voted "Silent Strikes". Nothing beats luring in the shadows and taking out your opponent by quickly stabbing them with your dagger.

Head On Strike.. but only because my character plays as a "good guy" meaning he doesn't start the fights.

I'm not arrogant. I'm insecure.

I thought the same until I grafted the human explosion script from Deadly Reflexes onto the poison apple. Somehow it was much more fun after that. :D

However, my Breton is one of those 'reject-his-heritage' types and just runs in with a blunt weapon and clears things out. Stealth or enchanted weapons aren't my thing.

On my last character, I did The Purification using solely poison apples, with the exception of Vicente since he does not eat.
“Fine day” said the young man.

“Gods!” hollered Zaki, sending the young man flying with a well-placed punch, and dashing away.

I enjoy the Cursed Items route on my newest character. It gives me a sense of
pleasure to know that the NPC's suffering comes from me, and they'll never suspect
a thing. :shock:

I personally like saving my game, having my character eat them, then seeing how much my character can do in his final seconds of life. :D Poison apples are fun, but not very realistic.

I once made a potion out of a poison apple. My intention was to make a poison (which would make sense) but it made a potion instead. I named it Romeo's Poison and proceeded to drink it. I've never been able to get cursed items to work. I've tried a few times, but it never seems to go how I'd like it to.
